FTAnalyzer

Use FTAnalyzer to investigate your family tree in new and interesting ways, see where your ancestors lived and moved over time on the new maps feature. Find errors in your tree eg: childrens birthdates before parent was born. See lists of who is missing from census searches then click their name to automatically search on Ancestry, Find My Past, Familysearch etc. And lots more.

There are 2 reports that you can run from here, Colour BMD Report and Colour Census Report.

For both reports, there are filters so that you can search each type of ancestor separately, or in any combination.

There is a also a surname filter search box, which will then just show those surnames.

Its worth remembering that the 5 Relationship Type filters also work when searching by surname.

The Colour BMD Report

For each person in the report, FTAnalyzer visually shows you using colour, the status of the BMD facts.

The colours and their meanings are

Red

The fact has an Unknown Date

Green

The fact has an Exact date

Orange

The fact has a wide date range

Light Green

The fact has an Approximate date

Yellow

The fact has a narrow date range

Peach

No Marriage fact has been recorded

Light Blue

No Partner but a marriage has been recorded

Dark Blue

Has a partner but no Marriage fact

Dark Grey

No facts recorded

The Colour Census Report

For each person in the report, FTAnalyzer visually shows you using colour, the status of the Census and Lost Cousins facts.

The colours have tooltips which are available when you hover over a colour but are basically :

Red

No Census information recorded

Green

Census information recorded

orange

Lost Cousins fact has been recorded but no census information recorded

Dark Grey

Not Alive in that year or outside of the UK

Yellow

Census information recorded but No Lost Cousins Fact recorded

The report should make it easy at a glance to see who you have entered but not yet found on a census and who has been found but not yet tagged as entered onto Lost Cousins website.

In the example below on the 2nd line, you can see that censuses for 1881 through to 1911 have been entered, but a Lost Cousins Fact has not been recorded for 1881 and therefore shows as yellow. The green box for 1911 however means that the census data
and a Lost Cousins Fact has been entered.
